Harpenden North & Rural

AL3 7 / AL5 2 / AL5 3 / AL5 4

PoshVillage feelFamily-friendly

The northern edge of town where housing thins out into countryside. You get larger plots and more of a rural buffer, with some genuinely impressive houses along the lanes heading toward Luton. It feels more detached from Harpenden's centre, both literally and in character. People here tend to have cars and use them. The trade-off is space and privacy, which you pay a premium for on top of already high Harpenden prices.
